Coloured armpit hair is happening

In case you haven’t noticed, growing out your underarm hair is having a major moment right now. The internet is up to its armpits with women choosing to abandon their razors, and it’s kind of amazing.

People freaked when Jemima Kirk made a killer statement at the CFDA Awards, while her BFF Lena Dunham put “grow armpit hair” at the top of her to-do list.

And putting a summery spin on the statement, women are further embracing their underarm hair by dying it bright colours.

According to Live Journal, people have been dying their oxters since '08, but it only really hit the mainstream when Lady Gaga paired aqua blue hair with matching armpits on stage last year. Cue YouTube tutorials and how-to trend reports.

So while it’s not quite tank-top-season just yet, if you’re looking for a bold way to throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care at Splendour in the Grass next weekend, why not accessorise your festival get-up with a pair of rainbow armpits? Dare to dye, or don’t, it’s up to you.
